FIGURE 1-2 Sun XVR-200 Graphics Accelerator Back Panel LFH-60 Port

PCI-Express Bus Interface

The Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator is a low-profile single-slot 32-Mbyte frame buffer keyed for an x1 PCI-Express bus interface. The output connector is an LFH-60 video port that requires the monitor cable adapters provided in the installation kit for DVI and HD15 (VGA) type monitor cabling.

8+24 Simultaneous Visuals

The 8+24 mode simultaneously supports 8- and 24-bit visuals. This mode addresses the classic colormap flashing issue with a 24-bit visual while providing the 8-bit visual that is required by some legacy 8-bit color only applications.

Cached Pixmaps

All Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerators support off-screen pixmap caching. Cached pixmaps are those that are stored in the off-screen memory. These off-screen pixmaps allow faster transfer rates to and from on-screen windows.

The available off-screen memory depends on the amount of video memory, the current resolution, and depth settings. For example, the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator has 32 Mbytes of video memory.

If the board is running at 1024 × 768 resolution with a depth of 8-bits, 768K is used for on-screen memory. That leaves 31.2 Mbytes available for pixmaps. In 24-bit and 8+24-bit modes, the on-screen memory that is used is four times larger than what is used in the 8-bit mode.

Chapter 1 Sun XVR-200 Graphics Accelerator Overview 3

Page 20

The largest pixmaps are stored in off-screen memory. If a larger pixmap replaces a smaller pixmap in the off-screen memory, the smaller pixmap moves to system memory and remains there even after the larger pixmap is destroyed.

OpenGL Support

Sun OpenGL for Solaris support is provided through the Direct Pixel Access (DPA) Extension. The Sun OpenGL 1.5 for Solaris software support is provided in the Solaris 10 1/06 Operating System.

Changing Resolution and Color Depth Through the GUI

The default resolution is dictated either by EDID information from the connected monitor or by the console resolution that is set (Appendix A). In the absence of this piece of information, the default resolution is 1024 × 768 × 75 Hz and the default window system color depth is 24-bit.

● To get a list of available screen resolutions for your display device, type:

host% fbconfig -res \?

See Appendix A, “Changing the Console Resolution”, which includes methods on changing your screen resolution from the OpenBoot ok prompt, a list of supported resolutions, and additional information.

However, if you decide to set a different resolution and color depth configuration under the X Window System, follow the instructions in this section to set your resolution and color depth appropriately.

You can use the fbconfig utility any time after installation to change these parameters and to turn on dual-screen mode.

Please see the man page on TSImko_config for a detailed description.

Note – dual-screen mode is a feature described in “Dual-Screen Mode” on page 17.

In this mode, you can only configure the Sun XVR-200 to a color depth of 24-bits.

The next two sections describe two methods of using fbconfig to configure the graphics board.

Chapter 2 Installing the Software and Hardware 13

# fbconfig -res 1024x768x60 -24only enable

To display the current settings for /dev/fbs/mko0:

# fbconfig -dev /dev/fbs/mko0 -propt

Dual-Screen Mode

The Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator has the ability to support two displays – two digital displays, two analog displays, or one analog and one digital. You can configure the card so that the two displays appear as one unified screen to the X Windows display. In other words, windows can be easily moved between the two displays (without the need for a special xinerama mode). This unified screen mode is also called dual-screen mode.

The Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator has only one graphic processor and two DACs. The drawing engine is capable of driving both DACs. See “X Window System

(Dual-Screen Mode) Configuration” below.

Console Display Configuration

In console mode (that is, prior to starting the X Window System), only one monitor head is used.

X Window System (Dual-Screen Mode) Configuration

You can configure graphics boards under the X Window System in either a singlescreen mode or a dual-screen mode, using the fbconfig utility.

● To configure the graphics board to dual-screen mode, type:

# /usr/sbin/fbconfig -dev /dev/fbs/mko0 -doublewide enable

When running fbconfig in the interactive mode (fbconfig -i), select w under the OPTION menu to enable dual-screen mode.

Chapter 2 Installing the Software and Hardware 17

Page 34

In dual-head configurations, the X Window System acts as one single display across two screens. Both heads must be set to the same resolution, and each is limited to 1600 × 1200 × 60 analog. So, the maximum effective resolution across both screens is 3200 × 1200 × 60 analog. In the dual-screen mode, only the 24-bit TrueColor visual is supported.

In single-head configurations, the resolution is limited to 1920 × 1200 × 76, and supports 8-bit, 24-bit, and 8+24-bit modes.

Note – These limits apply to analog output only. Digital output is restricted to

1280 × 1024 × 60. Dual-head configurations that include a digital monitor are also limited to 1280 × 1024 × 60 for both heads.

CHAPTER

Modifying the Xservers File

To configure the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator, you must modify your Xservers file. This chapter describes how to make that modification.

Configuring the Graphics Device Through the Xservers File

The Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator device name is mko0. To configure the Xservers file, do the following:

1. Become superuser and open the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file.

# cd /etc/dt/config # vi + Xservers

If the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file does not exist, create the /etc/dt/config directory and copy the Xservers file from /usr/dt/config/Xservers to

/etc/dt/config.

# mkdir -p /etc/dt/config #

cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config

# cd /etc/dt/config # vi + Xservers

Page 36

2. Modify the file by adding the device location for the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator device.

Enter the Xservers file content in one long line.

This example shows the Xservers configuration file modified for one Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator (mko0) to start the desktop:

:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xserver :0 -dev /dev/fbs/mko0 -nobanner

3. Log out, then log back in.

4. If you are editing the Xservers file after completing installation, reboot your system.

APPENDIX

Changing the Console Resolution at the OpenBoot Prompt

This appendix describes how to change the console screen resolution.

■ “Overview” on page 21

■ “Output-Device Method” on page 23

■ “Video-Mode Method” on page 24

■ “Video-Timing Method” on page 26

■ “Video Mode Troubleshooting” on page 27

Overview

Changing the screen resolution at the OpenBoot ok prompt enables you to view console boot messages and the DT login screen. If a type of monitor is used where the EDID auto-detect is not preset at the ok prompt, console boot messages and DT login screen will not display. In this case, set screen resolutions using fbconfig or the GUI method, which displays console boot messages and the DT login screen (see “Changing Resolution and Color Depth Through the GUI” on page 13).

Console Resolution

The the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator has a default console resolution and default color depth as shown in the

TABLE A-1 Default Console Resolution

Board Resolution Refresh Bits/Pixels Sync

XVR-200 Auto Detect - 24 Separate/composite

TABLE A-1:

Page 38

Reason for Changing the Console Resolution

Normally, the default console resolution is sufficient for most users. If the monitor does not sync up at the default console resolution, it might be necessary to choose a different console resolution.

Guidelines for Changing the Console Resolution

By default, all console resolutions are set to 24-bit mode. Use fbconfig -i to test a resolution before configuring the console to that resolution.

Note – Digital output on the LFH-60 port is limited to 1280 × 1024 × 60.

EDID Auto-Detect Feature

Auto-Detect is limited to 1280 × 1024 × 60 on the digital video port only. If overrides are used to exceed this limit, only analog signals will be produced by the DVI port. Digital signals will be turned off.

If you are using a monitor with DDC2B/EDID protocol the default resolution will be determined using the Auto-Detect feature. With this protocol, the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator first checks the Established Timing Identifiers (taking the first one supported) then tries to match the Standard Timings.

Note – The monitor must be powered up and turned on prior to booting the system

in order for the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator to communicate with it. Some adapters and cables might block this signal.

If the Auto-Detect feature fails, the card will default to 1024 × 768 × 75 Hz.

Note – The other methods described in this appendix override any information

obtained through EDID.

22 Sun XVR-200 Graphics Accelerator Installation Guide • December 2006

Page 39

Output-Device Method

To specify the console resolution of Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator through the output-device environment variable, use the format screen:rAxBxC where:

■ A is the desired horizontal resolution.

■ B is the desired vertical resolution.

■ C is the desired refresh rate.

The system checks these values against an internal list of resolutions (see “Video-

Mode Method” on page 24 for a list of video modes) and use the corresponding

entry as the console resolution. For example, to use VESA1280 × 1024 × 75 as the console resolution, go to the ok prompt and type:

ok setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x75

ok reset-all

Note – The Sun Fire T2000 system default console defaults to:

output-device=virtual-console input-device=virtual-console

To use the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator as a console, type a Solaris prompt:

# eeprom output-device=screen # eeprom input-device=keyboard

Or, at the ok prompt, type: ok setenv output-device screen ok setenv input-device keyboard

Reboot after installing the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator into the Sun Fire T2000 system.

Appendix A Changing the Console Resolution at the OpenBoot Prompt 23

Page 40

Video-Mode Method

You can set the Sun XVR-200 console resolution at the ok prompt in boot PROM mode, using one of the 32 preinstalled resolution modes. These resolution settings are identified by video modes 1-32.

● To change the video mode, type:

ok nvedit

0:8 value video-mode 1: <ctrl-c>

nvstore

ok setenv use-nvramrc? true ok reset-all

where 8 is the selected video mode.

Note – The last three commands enable the NVRAM. Without these lines, the

changes you make with nvedit will be ignored.

Video-Timing Method

If all of the previously described methods fail for your configuration, it is possible to specify the exact timing numbers for a particular resolution. The last method for setting the console resolution also uses nvedit. This method is more involved and requires knowledge of all timing parameters for the desired resolution, and is only to be used for monitors with resolutions that are not available in the video-mode method.

Note – The video-timing method should be used only if the preceding methods

have been unsuccessful.

For example, to set the console resolution to 1280 × 1024 × 76 Hz, type:

ok nvedit

0::video-timing " 1280, 384, 32, 64, 1024, 43, 3, 8, 135000000, 0" ; 1: <ctrl-c>

nvstore

ok ok setenv use-nvramrc? true ok reset-all

Note – The syntax is very important. The spaces must be present exactly as they

appear in the example.

Note – The last three commands enable the NVRAM. Without these entry lines, the

changes you make with nvedit will be ignored.

The following is a brief description of the 10 parameters used in this method:

■ Horizontal resolution (in pixels)

■ Horizontal blanking total

■ Horizontal front porch

■ Horizontal sync width

■ Vertical resolution (in lines)

■ Vertical blanking total

■ Vertical front porch

■ Vertical sync width

■ Dotclock in Hz

■ Sync value:

You can add the sync values together to select more than one of the preceding values.

Video Mode Troubleshooting

TABLE A-3 Video Mode Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Used the method described in this Appendix to configure the console resolution, but the card still defaults to something other than the resolution specified.

A priority scheme is used to determine the boot console resolution. The Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator firmware checks the various methods in order of priority. If the device finds the resolution from the current method, it uses that resolution. Otherwise, it goes down the priority list to find the resolution information. Finally, if there is no resolution information, the device uses the default resolution. The resolution-setting methods are enumerated in order of decreasing priority:

1. output-device method (see “Output-Device Method” on page 23)

2. video-timing method (see “Video-Timing Method” on page 26)

3. video-mode method (see “Video-Mode Method” on page 24)

4. DDC2B/EDID (see “Output-Device Method” on page 23)

5. Default resolution for the board
